Vocabulary: Hypothesis-An educated test on a group of data that can be proven Data gathering-When you gather information to for a hypothesis Multiple trials-When you do an experiment more than once Variance-Difference between numbers Average-When you add all numbers together and then divide that number by how many numbers were added together Median-The middle number in a set of numbers Mode-The number that appears most in a group of numbers Histogram-A bar graph that shows the history of something Pie chart-A graph where the data is split into parts and is put together to form a circular shape Inference-A conclusion that is reached on the base of evidence and reasoning
Question: we wanted to know how many m&m’s didn’t have a complete “m” on the candy shell. To test this we will open the bag up, flip all of them all over, and count how many have full m’s. We predicted that about 25% of the candies would have some kind of mistake on the shell. Here are the results:
13 of them had incomplete m’s, while 42 didn’t. About 30% were defected m’s.
M&M Colors
In the end, our hypothesis was a little off, but it was still close. I would say that most of the bags in stores would have the same numbers on complete and defected m’s. We also added the total number of colors in our 3 bags. We thought that the numbers in both the candy shell table and the m&m colors would be similar if we did the experiment again.
